In unpremedicated patients presenting for general anaesthesia for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), the use of atropine combined with methohexitone as an intravenous induction agent was found to produce a significantly greater increase in heart rate than glycopyrrolate in similar combination. There was no difference in the antisialogogue effect of the two drugs at the doses used, and both drugs provided similar protection against the effects of suxamethonium and ECT on heart rate.
